Biography

Welcome and thanks for looking up my QRZ page as we either had a recent QSO or you may have simply heard the call.

I primarily enjoy DXing on HF and I’m usually active on 20M,40M and 80M, but enjoy working whatever bands are open.

Contesting has become a passion and I look forward to participating.

I enjoy going after the special event stations and receiving their QSL card or certificate.

I also enjoy getting the mail and finding QSL cards in the mailbox,so if you send me one, you will 100% get one in return.

The majority of time I transmit from my home QTH in New Hampshire running an Icom 7300 into an SP7IDX Hex Beam at 50'.

When on the go I'm running an FT-857 Yaesu with an LDG YT-100 tuner into a SOTA Beam at 30 feet.

Power distribution,whether it be AC or DC is through a West Mountain Radio RIGrunner 4005.

When contesting or DXing,I'm using a Yamaha CM- 500 headset with a DXE foot switch.

I am a retired career firefighter and currently still work in the emergency medical services field.

When not playing radio,I enjoy camping,hiking and snowmobiling.

I hope to work you on the air,or see you further on down the log.

Good DX and all the best.
